But then again the terminology used in the article was "recording an album," which sounds like a lot more than merely producing/overdubbing a live CD. I have this deep dark fantasy that Joe will assemble a bunch of Nashville's finest session musicians so that Stevie can quickly run through some of Carrie Underwood's rejected song pile. I know that sounds horrible, but at least it's something new! Five years without a single new studio recording from Mama is just cruel!

Really? Really?

Why would people post this? I don't believe this at all.

I can't even imagine what type of cd would "accompany" a dvd of Soundstage... Unless it's a cd of the full show. And why Nashville? Could it be that she's recording country tunes? Maybe an ep? Doesn't really make any sense especially when thrown in with the Soundstage dvd. Seems going country is the new flavour... Bon Jovi' latest cd was leaning towards country... Jewel's upcoming cd is supposedly country... Jessica Simpson (not that she counts), her next cd is apparently country too... Sheryl Crow lives in Nashville - but from the sound of her latest songs, it's not really country... So who knows what this is... But hey, anything new from her if it is in fact new material, is great in my books!

I agree, except I can see her cutting some songs from the show. Another possibility would be an interview, but of course that doesn't make sense, given that she is in Nashville for the recording, which would be unnecessary, unless she's sitting in the Grand Ole Opry with an urn of Jesse's ashes on her lap, for sentimental reasons .
Of course, this could be an album of extras, like Space Needle & You're Not the One, etc (I like to get people's hopes up). But more likely it's five live recordings of "Dreams", recorded back-to-back.

Hate to be the downer, but I know many of you understand....I ain't jumping for joy till new songs are released...whether she wrote them 30 years ago and this is the first we hear of them, or they were written in the last few years...if it ain't something new, I'm not excited

Stevie Nicks, the infamous "breadwinner" of the 70's rock band Fleetwood Mac, is 'rumoured' to be in Nashville this month, editing her SoundStage special, and recording an album that will accompany its DVD release. Our correspondent tells us that Nicks is reshooting close-ups, editing in footage of 'white winged dove's' being released into the studio audience, and having the entire concert's vocals brought up two octaves. A dancing scene featuring the now 74 year old Brad Jefferies will also be included in this incredible performance.

The CD portion of this package will feature one new song, written by Sandy Stewart… and sung by Sheryl Crow. The tentative tracklisting includes:

1. Outside the Rain
2. Dreams
3. Rhiannon
4. Gold Dust Woman
5. Edge of Seventeen
6. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
7. Stand Back
8. NEW SONG. Title has not been released.

From what I have read, I think the producer lives and works in Nashville. So, I think that is the reason for the location.

ha, good one. I love the extra zing at the end with "written by Sandy Stewart and sung by Sheryl Crow"

I do think this CD will have new material, she already released Crystal Visions, and now she is in the studio recording new songs for this CD. The fact that she is in Nashville tells me that she must be working on the N.O. song, otherwise, why not just go to Los Angeles? I do not think Fleetwood Mac went into a studio to do the CD for Live in Boston, just like Stevie did not need to go to a studio for the live tracks on CV. As for editing the DVD, or putting live tracks on a CD, I doubt Stevie would be involved in that, technically speaking,...there are people who she hires to do that for her. And looking at the quote "Stevie Nicks is in Nashville recording an album with Joe Thomas for a CD that accompanies a DVD of Soundstage..." it appears that she is recording A CD that will accompany A DVD...not THE CD that accompanies THE DVD...so, to me, it appears that they will be two seperate entities. Just my opinion tho.

OMG. THe 74yo. Brad Jefferies part had me doubled over!!!

I'm so excited for this!!
I CAN'T WAIT, I CAN'T WAIT!!!


I believe the album will be new material. I believe that Stevie spent several years trying to think of a good way to release some new material without having to produce a major all-out album. Someone has been giving Stevie fresh new ideas for marketing:

1. Greatest hits package with DVD & funky commentary on old videos
2. Soundstage DVD
3. Accompanying CD of new material -- a 2-fer

Stevie has found her way at last out of the morass of the industry cul-de-sac.

Oh I think this is fantastic news! I hope that it is actually true! And that it comes to pass...even if it does turn out to be just the same old set list...we've never actually gotten an official live cd...I would like that even more than the DVD, honestly (not that I don't want both! ; ) And if it includes any of the songs that aren't 'same old songs' i would be ecstatic! woo!

[JohnL]

they will sneak Tracy Young's remix of Edge on there too? That would work!!
